Destination Ko Samui: Mission Accomplished
After leaving Hat Nai Ploi, we headed back to the ferry and after a few minor deviations picked up the signs. Gary saw dolphins swimming in the harbour – the regular grey ones this time. Once off the ferry, we headed for the hotel. It was a shorter ferry journey than expected 1½ hours instead of 2½ hour crossing and the journey to the resort quite quick and easy - 20 minutes. The room was exactly as advertised and the resort looks like what we have imagined too. Here's to a week of luxury.

The plan had been that after an action packed month we would land at Ko Samui and chill. Well here we are.

After cocktails in the resort bar we went out to explore the surroundings. Aside from lounging by the pool a bit of eating nice food, drinking loads and mooching around, there was not a massive amount to report.

We used our hire car to take a circumnavigation of the island and spent my birthday doing a boat trip, which included getting very wet - even before we started the snorkelling! and picnic on a (not so) deserted island paradise. When I got back to our room, there was birthday cake waiting for me on the bed… aah.

On the tour around the island we stopped at one of the famous landmarks, phallic rocks at Grandmother and Grandfather point - all a bit lost on me. On the way back we discovered a lovely cafe restaurant with a stunning view, we went in for iced coffees and the vista.

We managed to fulfil our goal of a relaxing at the end to the summer.

We checked out the coastal towns and decided on Hat Nai Plao, a small resort near to the ferry. The hotel had a Moroccan theme (or so they thought).

This is a fairly unassuming town with a couple of hotels, one of which we checked into. A walk around town at school kicking out time was fun as there were...
